Dysarthria as Late Effect of Stroke Clinical Trial
Official title:
Implementation and Feasibility Study of Group Intervention for Patients With Dysarthria Following Stroke and Their Carers in Pakistan
Dysarthria is a common problem in Pakistan. therefore the current study aims to translate the dysarthria communication tools into urdu language for better understanding the population and the problem
Dysarthria is the inefficiency or restricted capability to form intelligible speech because of the inability of motor control on the speech structures. There are many therapeutic approaches in Pakistan that are in use for the patients with dysarthria following stroke. One of them is one to one intervention which may include one dysarthria client along with the speech therapist. The therapist delivers step by step instructions to the client. The essential assessments are being held to initiate the treatment. The application of this intervention approach leaves some drawbacks, such as, the patients find it difficult to relate and adapt to the treatment offered. Generalization also seems to be complicated. The patients express a lack in motivation and support. The other mode of approach is group intervention, in which multiple dysarthria clients along with their caregivers & speech therapist are included. In the later one, there are greater chances of recovery for patients as they get peer support and build confidence through newfound friends, peer communication with realistic social setting, learning through teaching, increased awareness of skills and it is time constraints. The culture of practicing group sessions with dysarthria patients is lacked in Pakistan, which intends to meet and compensate for all the drawbacks and lacks of one on one intervention. By including the Dysarthria patients, therapist and the caregivers in the group intervention, there're greater chances of reduced anxiety for both patients & caregivers regarding disorder & its recovery. ;
